Singlets

Beautiful starlets showed up at the Oscars in several trends, one of which we chronicled a bit here: the single shoulder strap. Christie Brinkley, who’s just recovering from back surgery also wore this style of gown to Oscar parties (we couldn’t find an available pic). Here’s a look at who wore the look:
